Description
It would be great if we could group by a transformation of a column. For example if I have a column with values "[ABC] 123", "[ABC] 456", "[GEH] 678" I want to be able to group by "[ABC]" and "[GEH]".
A current workaround is to add a duplicate column with the transformed data and group by that.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the RowGroup grouping implementation and its tests, then clarify how a transformation should be supplied before changing the API. Done should mean grouping by transformed column values without requiring a duplicate column, with coverage for the shown example.
